honeyvine, bluevine, swallow-wort
I think the milkweed vine down by the lane is a Cynanchum laeve, though now that I have looked it up I need to go see it again. Probably I need to resurrect the plant press.
Aside - I washed out and refilled the hummingbird feeder yesterday, and it apparently tastes good again. Hummer just visited for maybe a dozen swallows Of course I picked up the phone to try a picture just too late.
Here is the photo from the Natural Resource Conservanion Service (public domain via Wiki Commons), and then two of mine.

Wikipedia says it's considered a noxious weed in some areas, but it doesn't seem to be here. I can see that it could be kind of kudzu-like, but it doesn't compare to greenbrier and Carolina snailseed. I am glad to have found it.
